The Cursed Ones OOC

[Calim]

Fez has just reached middle age for a gnome, the only reason you all saw him because there is a landing then stairs down into the bar similar to what you might see in an episode of Cheers.

He stands all of about 2 feet 4 inches tall but twith his pointy velvet hat of immaculate cleanliness he stands almost 4 feet. He has a beard and wearing a black robe and cloak. At his belt he has a mug that seems to be very well used. If you were to make a guess you would say he was a wizard.

BTW you guys can use the 3.5 stuff but I am going to rule generally with the 3.0 stuff until later when I can get it picked up.

 

[Calim]

There was a house rule that my real life group adopted about animal companions for druids and rangers that was to allow twice the hd of companions and no creature can not exceed the total hd you have, so if you have 10 hd you get 20 hd in companions but nothing over 10 hd. If that resolves your issue without the ring then you can reallocate monies.


Argent he does not detect as evil.

Sooo, since I am 8th level I can have two or more creatures that add up to 16hd as long as none of them is over 10hd. Then I can have an additional 12hd because of the ring, so total of 28hd of creatures as long as they don’t go over 10hd once again.
Still the question remains...can I keep all of those creatures for as long as I want?
What is the maximum creature hd I can keep for an extended period of time?
And since I can’t have anything over 8hd, if we come across a dire bear, which is 12hd I believe, can I "control" it temporarily?

 

[Calim]

Ok if you are full up no if you are not then for the duration of the encounter yes.

Meaning at 28 hd is all used by your 5 at least animals then no the bear is outside your influence, but if you have enough space for a 12hd creature that is not controlled by someone else(and if it is you get opposed charisma or animal empathy checks) then the encounter meaning you basically can deal with him while he is around but he will wonder off.

the rest of the creatures you can have since birth and you can advance them as well.

when you gain a hit die you can take time and train and care and add a hd for one of your creatures

Ok SerpentEye Give me an untrained knowledge history/local

and anyone who wants to give me a knowledge geography untrained as well.

should have incleded this earlier but both dc's are 15

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Justiel's untrained knowledge check.. roled a 12+2=14

 

[Serpenteye]

history/local: 5+4=9

geography: 14+4=18

 

[Calim]

waiting for others to post or not post answer to my request above then we can move on.

and SerpentEye you remember hearing about a gnome who had problems with the red wizards of Thay a couple of years back.

Fun for the DM!

Calim, I think it might be fun for you to some times have Justiel go on autopilot and do the "work of the Gods".
He is still a messenger for the gods but he doesn't realise he is doing it. he will do strange things that make no sense at the time but make an impact on the NPCs in the area after a time.

More of a concept on this later but read the latest post for a glimps.
